The Right to Vote

Women’s suffrage, the right to vote in political elections, came about in a sporadic fashion. Federal authorities granted this right in 1918 (more than two years after the women of Manitoba became the first to vote at the provincial level). However, certain conditions were attached to such eligibility, "age 21 or older, not alien-born and meet property requirements in provinces where they exist."
